“This intensive five-day training is the perfect environment for connecting with peers who know that horses have a lot to teach”, commented Certified Instructor Claire Connaghan. “You will learn how Monty Roberts keeps stress out of his life with horses, and how to develop the motivation and resilience to achieve your life’s goals”, Connaghan added.Roberts, the New York Times bestselling author of The Man Who Listens to Horses will share his life story about overcoming barriers, motivating yourself and lowering your stress levels to achieve your goals.At the workshop, Monty will work with a range of young and remedial horses. By observing this unique and gifted man, participants will gain first-hand knowledge during demonstrations, lectures, and discussions. This class is for the novice rider, the non-rider, as well as the advanced student who wants to observe a master at work. Monty will also demonstrate how to communicate with horses in their natural language in various situations during this intensive 5-day class.

“The workshop is formatted to provide you with the educational tools you need to address leadership issues, ground manners, teaching to tie, crossing water (and/or obstacles), loading, head-shyness, mounting, bucking, standing for the farrier, kicking, and biting”, Connaghan continued. This exclusive training program helps you better understand problem solving using Monty’s violence-free training methods. Come and spend time with like-minded people absorbing what non-violent communication can be. Enjoy lunch and lively discussions too with Monty and students from around the world.

Monty Roberts’ life’s goal is “to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horse and for people too.”
